Cosas

Why Parenting Rocks, Part #2,345:Mina: "I have a wiener. I have a wiener." She points at her crotch.Maya: "For your information, you do not have a wiener. You have a VA-CHINA."Mina: "I have a china. I have a china." She points at her crotch, dancing.Me: "Don't be showing your china off at school."

Pro-mo-tion Time!She's gonna P-I-iss-ed, but I have to introduce you do my friend Green Whale. I've only known her a few months, but I have grown very fond of her in this short time. She is passionate and fascinating. And now she has started a blog! Her writing is interesting and beautiful, each post like a polished pearl.

This story reminds me of something from college. I had a roomate who worked at a pre-school. One of her kids had discovered a part of her anatomy and kept announcing it to everyone who would care to listen.

"I have a uvula," she said which she pronounced "UUUUUUU-vula" in that endearing child-like sing-song way. Thankfully she only did that for only a week until she got tired of it and, I assume, moved on to another area of her physiology.

A girl I work with just told me that she taught her young daughter that the vagina IS called a "china" which worked out famously until the little girl met a neighbor dog named China. The girl couldn't believe someone would be so nasty as to call their dog that. Wait until she finds out about the country. Traumatizing.

hehe...my 2 year old can't quite understand why he has a penis and i don't. i tried to tell him that boys have penises and girls have vaginas. well, the other day he was in the bathroom with me and very sweetly said, "i like your gina." i couldn't help but feel all warm and fuzzy.

Love your friend's blog... her writing is beautiful and she has such a way with words! Maybe you could pass that along to her (I can't comment on her blog because I'm not on Blogger). Thanks for sharing the link!

oh my goodness! i have a friend whose daughter says "china", too!we all sat around the campfire, one night, using this new word...for example "when you get married, you get new china", and "if you're not careful, you could break your china". of course, they were funnier after many beers combined with lack of sleep.

About Me

I love my husband because he’s kind of a dick. But he’s soft with me and his lip quivered at our wedding. I love my daughters. They’re brilliant and funny, and I’m here to kick down mountains that get in their way. I’m a vegan, and all is right in my world because of it. I can still beat the neighborhood in HORSE because I have a bad-ass set shot. Justice is served well through fair food, and scarcity would be a myth if we shared more, damn. Yo soy una mezcla which leaves me mixed up sometimes. My commute bike’s name is Loops and she’s my favorite kind of car. I wish I had written Chronicle of a Death Foretold. I’ve endured 54 hours of tattoo work. But above all, I fiercely believe in the underdog.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" - Kerouac (As told to me by Marigoldie)
